Is the career-ending political scandal no longer a thing?
Increasingly, it seems that no scandal is big enough or ugly enough to end a politician’s career or permanently damage the brand of their party.
It was not always so. Does anyone remember Watergate, a political scandal of such enormous scope that it not only brought down a sitting president and a gaggle of his senior staff, but also led to the tradition of attaching the suffix “gate” to the first word of future scandals?
